That's something.

You didn't "have to".

Your FML should be " Today, I found out how stuck on my ex husband I am. I protected him from his new wife finding out he was in jail by bailing him out. FML"

Your ex needs to grow a pair. If his wife finds out on her own she'll be a lot more mad than if he just told her

Not only that, but he shouldn't be calling his ex-wife for that. Part of being married and taking all of those vows means that you're supposed to have a built in best friend who will come bail your ass out of jail if need be. He/she is the person you're supposed to rely on, not your ex-spouse/SO. And I can't imagine that his wife will be pleased to find out who he called to bail him out when she does eventually learn the truth. She'll be even more pissed.

I think OP should now inform her Ex's new wife what just happened, then sit back with popcorn and watch the show.

She needs to grow a pair and tell him where to go, not bail him out.

And you did this why? Doesn't seem like your problem to me.

My ex weds, are still friends at the least, my parents are divorced and they get along just fine, just be some couples split up for at mean they hate each other

yea, it was kind of OP's fault for feeling the need to "have to" bail out her ex.

Maybe she has to pay Alimony/Child Support and he struck a deal with her or something

16 that was the most incoherent thing I have a ever read

39, From my interpretation I think they were saying that just because some couples split up doesn't mean that they hate each other

My ex is my best friend (we even still live together though I'm guessing that isn't the cas for OP) I'd bail him out of jail if he asked, however I'd do it because I'd want to not "have to" but if he had another serious partner I would advise him to come clean with her. These things have a way of getting out and she'll be more pissed if she finds out on her own than if he told her

I assume you had a very good reason for actually doing it... Right?

You're a very sad person... And so is he... Why did you ever break up?

No, it's the other way around actually. OP is a very cool person for being so generous and her ex obviously has a tiny pecker and a giant wuss.

So? Sounds like his problem..

You didn't "have" to do anything. It's his fault he was in jail in the first place.

Why would you do that? If he's done something that wrong she should know about it.

FYL OP, leave him!

Reread the FML. It's her ex husband.

I'd suggest you to read the FML again.

Leave him at the jail, is what i meant!

Why is this an FML on your part? You weren't forced to bail him out and he obviously deserved whatever he was in there for. You're hurting his wife too by keeping that from her. Nobody made you bail him out, so you did this to yourself. YDI
